For those of you who ordered peaches, please be ready to pick them up on Saturday, August 24th at Sunny Schmitt's home (1250 S. Saint Vrain Ave, Unit 1) around 1pm. Sunny will pick up orders for both Rotary Clubs (Noon and Sunrise) from the Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary between 7am and Noon. She will have them available for pickup around 1pm.
Please donate if you are able, and any amount helps!
If you (or your business) are able to give at the $5K or above level, then you will be recognized in the Bank of Estes Park "Matching Club."
Checks should be made payable to Crossroads, with "Estes Valley Fire Relief Fund" in the memo line (this is a designated fund). Or, you may give through www.crossroadsep.org under the wildfire tab.
If you know anyone who needs assistance of any kind as a result of the fire, there is a form under the same tab on that website, or they may contact Crossroads the old fashioned way too.
Please help spread the word as well--both for raising funds, and to those who need assistance!

What was your First Job?
President Bill Howell will call on one of us each week to spread "awe" with our first jobs! (You might be quite surprised what each of us did!) He might even ask what our last (paid) job was before we retired (if we are retired).
This week's program was Dave Talbot speaking about "Crutches4Africa". Dave is a polio survivor and he talked about their mission which is collecting, shipping, and distributing mobility devices to developing countries (17 countries in Africa and in 11 other countries).
Dave talked about how thousands of mobility devices are ending up in landfills every day! Just think how many of these could help thousands of people in developing countries. If you run across any unused mobility devices, contact https://Crutches4Africa.org or take them to the Denver distribution center (near Pena Blvd and I-70).
Rotary District 5440 (53 clubs in N. Colorado and Wyoming) collected a quarter of a 40’ shipping container (semi truck) of mobility devices at our district conference in Steamboat Springs last May. In addition, D5440 raised $9K in a Silent Auction to help ship a 40' container.
